GARMENT POCKET.

Application filed May 10 1920. Serial No. 380.315.

2 '0 aZZ whom it may concern Be it known that I, Josnrii dinosaur-r residing at 838 St. Lawrence Boulevard, in the city and district of Montreal, in the Province of Quebec, in the Dominion of Canada, have invented new and useful Garment Pockets, of which the following is the specification.

The invention relates to garment pockets, as described in the present specification and illustrated in the accompanying drawings that form part of the same.

The invention consists essentially in the novel make of the pocket whereby the interior of the pocket may be reached without disturbing the safety portions in which valuables such as money and papers may be regularly kept.

The objects of the invention are to avoid the felonious rifling of pockets by criminals in croweded vehicles and places; to devise a pocket for the purposes aforesaid that is simple and cheap to make, and at the same time very efficient; and generally to provide a pocket which may be sold universally at a comparatively cheap price and without respect to the particular cut of the garment and yet retain its features of security that it 'is primarily designed for.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a pair of trousers showing them cut away to disclose a side pocket.

Figure 2 is a fragmentary View showing the arrangement of the pocket before being applied.

Fig. 3 is a perspective detail showing one side of the pocket illustrated in Figures 1 and 2.

Like numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in the various figures Referring to the drawings, the pocket 1, made for a pair of trousers, is fashioned after the style shown in Figures 1, 2 and 3, and constitutes a type of pocket that will give really three pockets in one, and two of these pockets will be security pockets.

The piece of cotton or other material ind cated by the numeral. is a perfectly plain piece of goods, and forms the pocliet but toward the lower end it is caught up into the fold 2 and an inner facing? is cut the same shape as the lower end of the piece of cotton 1 and extends upwardlv in the fold as far as it will go. The fold is then stitched down the side as indicated by the dotted line 4: and across the bottom and up the centre as indicated by the dotted line 5. The stitching 6 also extends across the top of the fold; but it does not include the inner facing 3. Other cross-stitching 7 is made on the lower end of the fold, but does not include the inner facing 3, therefore the inner facing is quite free from the piece of cotton 1 except at the sides and in the middle, consequently by inserting the fingers in the fold the pocket made between the fold and the piece 1 cannot be reached feloniously.

A further security is provided in the button 8 secured to the inner facing 3 and fastening to the fold 2 through the button hole 9.

The piece 1 is folded on the line 10 and stitched at the edges of both sides and bottom, therefore there is a main pocket between the security pockets and the latter are protected in the folds 2 Vi hat I claim is In a garment pocket, side walls having a transverse fold and stitching along the upper edge of said fold an inner facing covering the side walls below the fold and extending upwardly under said fold and having bottom, side and middle stitching, the latter extending upwardly and suitable fasteners for detachably securing the inner facing under said fold.
